It is a pleasure to be able to write a very good review, for a change, of our experience at a Starlight Theatre Broadway show. A good evening is our usual expectation, based on attending the Broadway shows since 1997. But Tuesday night's presentation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast was the first time this … Continue reading One final Beauty and the Beast before vaulting

Note the headline. That isn't summer vacation, but a vacation from a workout schedule in the summer. Didn't do much this past week. No swimming laps, just floating around Oceans of Fun pools. Did two 5Ks, which was probably the highlight of the workout for the week. For the bicycle there was 58 miles, most … Continue reading Fitness update: summer workout vacation

A Blast of the Past #56: Open House
One year after we moved into our current house we hosted an open house. Since that was in mid-November, it is also group with some Christmas tree photos. We spent a bit of time creating a banner for the open house -- one that is still in storage upstairs in the house.

Hugo Awards: Best Novelette
Today I'm doing the Best Novelette Category. I'm doing this mostly on impressions, less on analysis. I'm giving the first story I read the first ranking: "What Price Humanity?" by David VanDyke.
